A flaw was found in the way Linux kernel processed authenticated COOKIE_ECHO chunks. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system by sending a maliciously prepared SCTP handshake in order to trigger a NULL pointer dereference on the server. Introduced by: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=bbd0d59809f9 Upstream patch submission: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/325898/ References: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1070705 -- Petr Matousek / Red Hat Security Response Team PGP: 0xC44977CA 8107 AF16 A416 F9AF 18F3 D874 3E78 6F42 C449 77CA
